Sage X3 vs. Sage Fixed Assets

I wouldn't suggest this ERP for small organizations, especially if there is no IT staff. While they do offer support packages, they can be costly as certain packages limit the number of times you can call in. Hiring an outside consulting firm to support is another route, however that could become costly as well. Medium to large businesses with savvy tech staff would be a good fit for this ERP.

I believe that Sage is not suited well for our company because we are too large. To add new users we have to go into all 200+ companies and add their access individually. This is time-consuming and not a good way to manage access.

• Easy to understand software for new users.
• Journal entry and review process is easy.
• Sage is efficient in tracking multi subsidiary transactions.

Incentivized

• Central Repository.
• Staying up to date on tax law changes.

• Complications in configuration. Had to use a third party vendor to help us customize the system so we could better use it within the organization. This added additional expense
• Some error messages are in French. If you aren't French, or can't speak French, this makes it pretty hard to troubleshoot
• If you want to customize reports, you need to know Crystal Reporting (at least for the version I am using)

Incentivized

• Adding new users with multiple company access
• Copying users

Rather lackluster. Our account manager generally works with Sage's support team and oftentimes finds herself frustrated with a lack of understanding from the support team. Additionally, when IT is attempting to update the system (which from my understanding is a bear of epic complex proportions) they often times find themselves frustrated and at a loss for what needs done.

Sage has quite less setup cost and was easy to setup. Sage is capable of managing multi subsidiary transactions. It was easy for our team members to learn and start using. Team leads has some issues while approving invoices initially but it was fine later. Sage is a good option for mid scale manufacturing firms

[I believe that] Sage is nowhere near as good as Oracle. Oracle is easy to use and administer and the features are much better. The system is cloud-based so there are fewer issues with on-prem or virtual servers.

Incentivized

• Created efficiencies within the organization.
• Centralized data input and retrieval.
• Can be an expensive undertaking for an SMB.

Incentivized

• It is incredibly difficult to use and our business users generally do not look favorably on it.
• It is relatively low cost, which is a nice feature and lends to quick ROI.
